Today we did some learning at our "Maple Ridge River." Due to the large amount of snow melt we have quite the river along the compound at Maple Ridge. We have been fascinated by the movement of the water. We enjoy watching the water flow and how it moves at different points. Today we looked closely and learned what it means to zoom in on a certain aspect of the river. We found out that by looking closely we can see a lot more things and notice more. Our focus question today was: "What do you notice when you look closely?"
Tomorrow we are heading out to explore and inquire at the 'river' again, however this time we will be stepping into the water for some playful inquiry. This means that you may want to send your child in rainboots, splash/rain pants and some extra socks in case they get wet. We're excited to see what new questions and discoveries emerge through this intentional play.
I'd like to welcome, Miss. Rana Omar, our University of Calgary teacher who will be with us over the next 4 weeks. She has already established a great relationship with the students.
